note from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice uses a very small and efficient pulse-excited LPC diphone
synthesis method. It was originally written by Steve Isard. The
front end uses the same British English lexicon, intonation and
duration methods as rab_diphone.
This voice can be activated via (voice_don_diphone).

from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice provides a Castilian Spanish male voice using a residual
excited LPC diphone synthesis method. The lexicon is provided by
a set of letter to sound rules producing pronunciation accents and
syllabification. The durations, intonation and prosodic phrasing
are minimal but are acceptable for simple examples.
This voice can be activated via (voice_el_diphone) .
from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice provides an American English male voice using a residual
excited LPC diphone synthesis method. It uses the CMU Lexicon
pronunciations. Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically
trained model using part of speech and local distribution of breaks.
Intonation is provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and
an F0 contour generated from a model trained from natural speech.
The duration model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
